I usually find the "know it all student" knows a lot less than they believe. It is often their personal opinions based on little evidence. I ask for facts and resources to support their ideas.I explain we respect their opinions, however, we need to share supported information. Sometimes I suggest they do the research to share with the class next week.

its helpful when the class participates

when I meet a class for the first time, I love the introductions-makes me feel like I actually get to know the students a little better

I found this information to be very imforative and will apply it to my classes

Since student are so varied in the way they learn, can we ever develop a testing scheme that will positively effect all of our students?

There`re a huge population that use life as an fro failing grades poor attendance and the select few that are there to learn sometimes get caught in it how would anything in these resources help to break the cycle of just getting any type of student in school and filling the class rooms with student that come just for the CHECK

I have found that it has been effective to compare the classroom setting to a business setting. When students are consistently late to class I ask them how would this behavior be handled in a business environment? When students do not hand assignments in on time I ask them, "If you were a manager in a business and one of your subordinates did not complete a project on time, how would this impact your business? If a presentation to a client was not prepared on time, how could this impact your relationship with the client?" I feel that making this analogy helps the students apply their actions to a real world setting.

I have found that using real-life examples is an integral part of a class discussion or lecture. I not only provide my own real-life examples to help facilitate the learning, but I encourage students to add to the lecture or discussion by providing their own real-life examples, especially if they are work-related in the field we are studying. For example, one of the classes I teach is Medical Law & Ethics. I ofhten have students who have experience in the healthcare field. I encourage these students to discuss examples they have encountered at work that relate to the topic we are discussing that day in class. In doing this, it not only provides relevance to the lecture/discussion, but it also provides some insight to the other students who have no healthcare experience of what will be in their future as they enter the healthcare field.

I have been teaching for 5 years. I have noticed how I have not only become more confident in the class room, also more complacent. This has affected my teaching style. I became more relaxed in the class room; my students became more relaxed in handing their assignments and studying. This term I have sat down an evaluated how I was going to approach teaching. I now have strict time line of when assignments are due. Beginning of each week I give my students an agenda for the week which includes what lab assignments, pages from the book we will be discussing and if their will be a quiz or test that week. One thing I will continue to do and engage the students before class starts and in the hallway between classes. This has given my student confidence that I do care how their life is going. Shows that I am concerned, I also show support and given them encouragement. Have to earn your students trust.

make sure the rules are posted in the classroom or lab or even prepare a separate handout. Keep the rules short, sweet and to the point. Remember that if you are teaching adults address them accordingly.

I have proven that when you prepare your self with the knowledge of the subject you are able to deliver it to the students in more than one so that they understand and feel like they have achived their objective. Students tends to come back for more knowledge when they are understanding the material presented.

What can be done when you have a student who demands ALL of your attention the entire class? I have one student who follows me in the lab the entire class time, not to learn or ask questions, but to make the whole thing about him. It is taking my attention away from the rest of the class. I have tried different methods from being nice to down right outforth, and to no avail.
